4. Calculating Sowing Dates to Meet Harvest Dates
Pam Dawling
Twin Oaks Community, Virginia Association for Biological Farming
In this session, Pam explains how to work back from the dates you want to harvest, to determine when to sow, and create an outdoor planting schedule. We will weigh the pros and cons of direct sowing and transplanting, and start to consider ways to ensure continuous supplies of crops that can be planted more than once during the year.
